Ruben Amorim has made a crucial decision regarding Bruno Fernandes ahead of the Liverpool vs MU showdown.

Despite missing 2 of his last 3 penalties, captain Bruno Fernandes will still be the one to take on this responsibility in tonight’s Liverpool vs MU clash.

Bruno Fernandes remains the first choice for penalty duties

The Portuguese midfielder failed to convert penalties against Brentford and Fulham, whereas before that he had missed only four out of 42 attempts since joining MU in 2020. Nevertheless, Fernandes redeemed himself with a successful penalty in stoppage time that helped the "Red Devils" defeat Burnley, boosting his MU record to 39 goals from 45 penalty attempts (excluding two successful penalties in the marathon shootout against Grimsby in the League Cup), and a total of 62 career goals from 70 penalty attempts.

Coach Ruben Amorim confirmed his captain will still take responsibility if MU is awarded a penalty in the match against Liverpool at Anfield tonight (Sunday). "Yes, he remains the primary penalty taker," Amorim said. "He has scored a lot of goals. We have other options if needed, but I completely trust Bruno to manage it well."
